At its core, the CCA is a collection of passionate, seriously accomplished, ocean sailors making adventurous use of the seas. All members have extensive offshore boat handling, seamanship, and command experience honed over many years.

Prior Recipients

The Circumnavigation Award is earned by CCA member/owners for one continuous circumnavigation of the world in the same yacht. The member-owner may break the voyage for periods of no longer than six months, but he or she must resume the voyage from the same ports where it was broken. Forty-five Circumnavigation Awards have been presented since 1958 when the first Circumnavigation Award was presented to Irving and Exy Johnson for 7 voyages around the world
